Abstract
This report presents a description of architecture-centric system development. In an architecture-centric process, a set of architecture requirements is developed in addition to functional requirements. This report describes the source of these architecture requirements and how they are elaborated into a design. In addition to design, the documentation, evaluation, realization, and maintenance of an architecture are also described.
